  C                          Em
I wrote you a letter to make myself feel better

      F                     C             G
To redeem some part of me I thought I had lost

       C                        Em
And we were a lost cause long before we fell apart

              F                   C           G
'Cause honey, I was too eager and you were too smart

      C                     Em
Yet I look for you in these empty rooms

         F                    C           G
You're a phone call away, I'm on the interstate

           C                   Em
And I been drinking cheap wine just to pass the time

    F                    C        G
I'm falling behind and it doesn't matter

        C   Em    F G
Who you are    to meee

    C                       Em
I'm just like my mother, we both love to run

         F                    C        G
Chase impossible things or unreachable dreams

      C                         Em
Lie awake in the night thinking this can't be right

          F               C         G      C     Em
But there is no other way to live a life alone

      F G
I'm alone now

     C           Em             F                  C  G
Then suddenly we wake from this dream that we have made

   C               Em               F      C  G
It hits you all at once and then it slowly fades

    C           Em              F          G
I'm racing into nothing now, it all falls away

  C               Em               F        C  G
I know it now for my own sake that I cannot stay
